To Soar With Angels

Oh gentle wings of angels fair,
   Enfold me with your warmth and care;
Take hold and raise my spirits high,
   To fly with you amidst the sky.

Surround me with your wondrous glow,
   And carry me, that I might know,
The visions that you see each night,
   Upon the trails of heaven’s light.

Lift up my soul to soar above,
   And gaze upon the wonders of
The world untainted from your eyes,
   That I might see beyond this guise.

To drift upon the twilight haze,
   And view the sights from angel’s gaze;
To glide upon the twilight sun,
   And see the good in everyone.

Enrich my heart with heaven’s peace,
   And grace me with your sweet release,
While flying high above the clouds,
   That I might make my Father proud.

Beneath the heaven’s sparkling lights,
   Enraptured with the glow of night,
Bring forth the calm and soothing feel,
   Of tender love, this soul to heal.

for crying out loud, Kit, quit writing my poems for me!  This was excellent, just what I would like to write myself, except that you KEEP BEATING ME to them!

Can you tell I like it?

Kit a really beautiful poem. It had my soul soaring to heavenly heights

why must we pray
screaming? why must not death be redefined? we shut our eyes we stretch out our arms and whirl on a pane of glass-patti smith

Dear Kit; This is positively magnificent!
I feel so at peace after reading it, truly inspirational. I wish you had posted this in spiritual. come on over there and write us something, would you?  Love, Ellie

the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.
